How the Home Study Courses Work:
Earn up to 173 hours of massage continuing education credit by taking Boris’s 12 Medical Massage DVD Home Study Courses.When you order the home study courses, within 5 working days you will receive the DVDs, the supportive written course material, three client-model evaluation forms and the summary examination of the course. In order to complete the course you will have to carefully view each DVD three times (we recommend taking notes) and carefully read all the bonus material on the DVD as well as the supportive written material that comes with the purchase of each DVD course. By viewing each DVD at least three times and reading all the supportive material you will be able to successfully answer the summary exam questions. If you have any difficulties or questions, please contact us by e-mail and/or mail and Boris will be more than happy to help you out. You will have to practice the protocols you learn on each DVD on three different human subjects. Your human subjects can be clients, friends, colleagues and family members. Each human subject will have to fill out an evaluation form. Please use the self-addressed stamped envelope included with your course material to mail us back your test and evaluation forms. You will receive your test results within 5-7 working days of us receiving your completed test and evaluation forms. Once you successfully pass the course we will mail you your certificate and official transcript. In case you do not pass the test you can retake the test as many times as you like at no extra charge.

Advantages of Home Study Courses:

We believe that the ultimate goal of a professional continuing education program is to improve a practitioners professional capability of delivering results. We also believe that these advance home study courses can be much more effective and productive than on-site courses, because many people can study better at home at their own leisure than in the pressure of a classroom environment. Also, by viewing Boris’ hands on demonstrations several times you will be able to copy Boris’ techniques that he developed through 34 years of clinical experience. By owning this 12 Volume Medical Massage DVD video encyclopedia collection you will always be able to reference and review over 60 different massage protocols. Here is a summary of the benefits of the DVD home study courses:

1. Study Advanced Medical Massage Techniques and Protocols.
2. Study at Your Own Pace and From the Comfort of Your Own Home
.
3 . Accumulate Massage Hours for Obtaining Many California City Massage Licenses
4 . Own a great professional Medical Massage DVD Collection.
